Lyndsey Cole is an NYC local actor who is thrilled to be returning to the professional performance industry after an extended hiatus! But let's back up a bit...
Lyndsey was born a Monmouth County Jersey Girl, but raised (slightly) feral in the wild landscape that is Orlando, Florida. She earned a BA in Theatre with a Musical Theatre Performance Concentration from James Madison University. After college, Lyndsey embarked on an exciting performance career based in New York and Chicago. Her most notable credits include the Broadway North American tour of Mamma Mia (Sophie U/S), the Original Broadway-in-Chicago/2nd National Touring company of Jersey Boys (Francine and others), and the televised 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
After this, Lyndsey left the industry for a number of years to pursue other fields of study. Her spouse was developing a career in academia as a collegiate Musical Theatre Voice educator, so they lived in various parts of the country and Lyndsey became familiar with life in college towns.. During that time, she delved deeply into studying and practice of somatic movement training methods including (but not limited to) The Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique, Laban Movement Analysis, Bartenieff Fundamentals of Movement, etc. She also began a teaching career, coaching Acting and Musical Theatre Techniques, both privately and in college class rooms
Eventually, Lyndsey wanted to take all she learned (and loved) as a teacher and student, and apply it directly to her own performance practices. Her first post-hiatus performance role was "Sylvia" in A.R. Gurney's Sylvia, and it was such a positive, successful experience that Lyndsey knew she needed to return to performance full time. However, 2020's Pandemic had other plans, further postponing her industry return. She filled the time with more study and preparation. She performed in some productions down south where she was living and, in Fall 2025, finally fully relocated back to NYC.
Even with her continued training over the years, readjusting to the NY Theatre industry has been WILD. Lyndsey is putting all of her energy towards relearning a theatre industry that has rapidly evolved during her time away and this (ongoing) process is one she's embraced wholeheartedly. And some things still haven't changed! Lyndsey is still a trained soprano with a coloratura range and a big Broadway belt. She's a strong, stylized mover. She's charismatic, intense and quirky (A bit of an Aubrey Plaza kind of vibe). And now she's also blossomed into a highly physical comedic actor as well.
Outside of her artistic pursuits, Lyndsey loves animals (especially dogs) and is a dog training enthusiast. When the weather is warm, you might find her flopping around in a body of water. She also enjoys Horror movies, cups of tea, lavender scented heating pads, standup comedy, nerding out about theatre/movement work, spending time with loved ones, finding distraction from a near constant sense of existential dread, and laughing in the rain.
(Kidding about the rain! I mean, does anyone actually do that?!)
